When I saw the theme of rain for IF, I was excited! Little rain clouds and umbrellas are a constant theme in my artwork.

This is an image that I created a few months ago in an old pop up book that I altered. I've always wanted to do illustrate a children's book, so I decided to create a little book for fun and work directly in an old pop-up book. You can see me here with George, my childhood dog. In the book you can pull various tabs to move the heads and other elements.

i was so happy when i saw your comment because i love your artworks and have been visiting your blog all these while. i just love the way you juztapose the various stuff together and create such happy works. your comment is really encouraging to me. :)

This is darling! I love the b & w faces of you and your dog (woof!) against the colored pages. The simplicity of the artwork is very engaging. BTW...I saw a photo of your working hanging at the Artstream gallery. They look wonderful on a wall...congrats and good luck!

Bow-Wow! Love your art! I LOVE the name George!too... One of my Fav movie stars was George Hamilton! I still like him, he can dance pretty good too! He was on Dancing With The Stars. I hope that comes back soon!

I really enjoy your style this is the second piece of yours that I have seen and I look forward to your next post for IF! This is so sweet and happy! innocence is such a precious thing and you have really captured it here!

I've really fallen in love with your work. I hope you don't mind that I bring up your website when I teach my students mixed media and collage illustration. It's visually engaging but not terribly complicated; the students can see that an interesting narrative can come from a few carefully selected images in combination with some personal hand work. It's wonderful stuff, and I thank you for helping out in my classroom!

Hi Claudine, I found your link from a friends webpage ( Abbie ). I saw this collage and had to comment on it! I love the colors and the lightness of it. My first collage book was from you and it got me sooooo hooked!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences in those books!Anke ;)

I really like your style! The soft retro colors and the dotted lines (a bit like embroidery). And you make the lovliest flowers=)Thanks for your comment by the way, and to anwser your question: I sculpded the cat in clay (relief) and painted it with acrylics. The window is a cardboard box I painted and a piece of fabric for curtains
